Project #2: Word On the Street

For this assignment, I was to collect portraits of people who would share a recent happy moment.

Here are the photographs that I captured.

 

Adam Garman, 28, was on Railroad Avenue near the bus station.

“I’m working on a play with the music of Queen,” Garman said. “Everything about that is making me so happy.”

 

Crisha Homan, 25, was walking down Holly Street with her father in the afternoon.

She said being part of the Food Not Bombs project made her the happiest.

“I found out we get to open up a Monday feed in three to four weeks. Everything is piecing together,” Homan said.

Project #1: Disposable Camera

This was my first Journalism 305 project. Students were required to take a disposable camera out and make journalistic photographs.
I used a Kodak with 800 speed film for these photographs.
Western student Rebecca Cunningham, 22, just out of class, reunites with her dog  Gunner on south campus.
Gunner came to live with Cunningham and her boyfriend, Jeremy Jamine, after her sister could no longer care for the dog, she said.
“It’s easier for us to take care of him because our schedule works well,” Cunningham said. “It’s senior year and I have more time. With that commitment, he’s happier.”
